Hi D. Shrum,
I have wanted to speak to you for a long time now. I think you have the right to know what really happened all those years ago. Cindi was my best friend and sister in-law. She hurt many people and broke up families with her reckless behavior with sneaking around sleeping with you, my former husband, and the doctor she worked for at the time- all while still married to my brother Richard. Yes, you heard right. She was seeing all of you at the same time. She had a 6 year affair with my former husband. It destroyed our families.
Cindi made allegations that her husband; Richard was sleeping with someone and the man committed suicide over it. After Richard went to him and told him it was not true the lie had already caused so much damage to this couple that he didn't know what to believe and went off the deep end and ended it by taking his life.
The damage she caused to our families has never been resolved. The lies and her sneaking around broke up two more families. And I can only image the lies she told you.
This is the short version. There is so much more to this story, But now you can understand why everyone was so bitter towards you. Not for the reasons you thought.
Signed, To many broken pieces
